Little Moments of Alchemy

  • becoming, again.

    I miss me. More specifically, I miss me circa 2019-2021. That may sound crazy because we spent a huge chunk of that time in a global pandemic, but, circumstances aside, I felt more like myself then than I ever have. I can still feel that sense of connectedness in that space in my chest where…

  • navigating tough conversations

    When I was younger, I wasn’t taught how to have difficult conversations. No one taught me how to express when I felt hurt, misunderstood, or needed to set a boundary. At home, uncomfortable topics were often avoided. At school, the focus was on academics, not how to communicate through conflict. And at work, hard conversations…

    This week, I’m thinking about the things that create little moments of alchemy at work. After all, many of us spend more of our waking time at work than anywhere else, so it should stand to reason that the culture of our organization and the people we work with can have a profound effect on…

  • how do we decide what we’re willing to live without—and what we aren’t

    There’s a question I’ve been sitting with for a long time now, one that feels both universal and deeply personal: Where is the line of what I’m willing to live without? We only get this one life that we know of. There are things that call to us—places we yearn to live, trips we long…

  • setting intentions, making changes, and the power to choose again

    In the ever-evolving world, the art of forging genuine connections remains timeless. Whether it’s with colleagues, clients, or partners, establishing a genuine rapport paves the way for collaborative success.
